Aug 14, 2003 The tenth day of treatment

According to the doctors, to practice Taijiquan is very helpful in weight losing. Now Lincoln and I devoted us to a new torrent of learning Taijiquan from the doctors,

Justine, Lincoln and I came at the same time, but Justine made a priority on the weight losing. So what we can do is to do our best behind him. Older than Justine, Lincoln and I couldn't do as much as exercise as him. For bad health condition, Lincoln made his decision to learn Taijiquan from doctors.

After the treatment, Lincoln will practice his Taijiquan with the doctor. So far he had learned two parts of it. Since he began his Taijiquan exercise, it seemed that he has been in a better condition. In my opinion the slow movements of Taijiquan couldn't be helpful in weight losing. So I told me idea to doctor:"Could Taijiquan help to weight losing?"As we known that exercise must play an important part in weight losing, but strenuous exercise couldn't be suitable for the old. So Taijiquan, which is slow but owns sufficient movement will be the most proper movement for the old.

Lincoln's effort has been proved effective while he loss more than me and performed rather formal like a real"gongfu"player. Now it is my turn to be eager to find a way to catch up with them. So I choose to play Taijiquan. And doctor agreed my require to teach me Taijiquan.

When knowing that I will learn Taijiquan, my interpreter said humorously:"Once you could play Taijiquan, you will become a person with Gongfu. In this way it is your responsibility to hold your hands when needed."I must be proud of myself to become a"DaXia"with my Chinese Gongfu.
